Meet the Fleet: A new show opens at Wildflowers Too in Barnegat Light this Saturday. “Kevin Coogan’s Boat Show” is an exhibition of large paintings of Viking Village vessels. The artist, who splits time between Barnegat Light and Wilmington, Del., finds “major inspiration” in the commercial fishing boats he has studied and depicted in oil for decades. His work has hung at Wildflowers “since the very beginning,” according to Gallery Manager Maggie Roedema. “We have a long history together.”
